halliesilly 's review for:
Gone with the Wind
by Margaret Mitchell
I feel like I need to put a caveat to my 5 stars that racism is bad. But I can easily say that, sitting here with my 2024 perspective while reading a novel written in 1936 that takes place during the Civil War and reconstruction. Acknowledging history is important on both a societal and individual level, even though our societal and cultural views of things have changed dramatically (I should hope). To be honest, I’ve never really spent any time in the confederate perspective, and I think seeing through other perspectives is important, no matter how much I might disagree with them.
Scarlet made me furious most of the time. I never came to like or respect her, though I do respect her resilience.
And when I finished the book, I wanted to throw it across the room.
But still….. 5 stars
